Misplaced Ego! Poem by Mark Heathcote

I am a writer; if I sell a word or not
And if you people are my readers
Then I must be, hot to trot?
I'll make - paper out of these cedars.

And, lay waste to a rainforest.
My carbon footprint will be?
Ginormous, just-you-wait & see.
I'll be so damn monumental-

They'll commission a dozen or so,
Bronze life-size sculptures of me
I'll be as famous as Muhammad Ali.
Do the quotes, shuffled-like he did on T.V

You know fellow readers, I'm going
Global faster than internet cable
I'll be more read than Shakespeare
I'll marry a senorita, bedded in a stable.

I'll make all the coverage world-news
Simply by enjoying and sharing my muse.
Sorry I just can't put it any other way
So don't steal my thunder I'm-here-to stay.
